My favorite summer drink is fruit tea but cold hehe
I brew about a liter of yummy fruit tea, let it cool down and then put it in the fridge. some of it I fill up into a ice tray, to make icecubes out of it. When I am thirsty, I get some tea & ice-tea cubes and put it in a (zippy) cup.
The tea won't loose any of the flavor/ get watered down and it's without any sugar!! (Though you can put sugar if you want to, I like it better without.)
And yes, you can also brew your tea in cold water, it'll even taste "more smooth" and less bitter that way, but it will take several hours to completely extract, so hot brewing is faster.
Oh and please don't put your still hot tea into the freezer or fridge, doing that can damage the appliances.

Refreshing and Revitalizing: The Benefits of Iced Tea in Summer Heat
In the summer heat, you really want to refresh yourself with a cool, tasty and healthy drink. And the best choice for many is iced tea, which not only quenches thirst, but also lifts the mood and fills the body with new strength and energy. This tonic drink is prepared from regular black or green tea, to which is added the juice of lemon, orange or other fruits, ground nuts, mint, jasmine, ice and sugar. Thanks to such additives, iced teas contain many vitamins, microelements and other valuable substances, which makes them very beneficial for health and the body as a whole.
Iced teas have the following properties
• fill the body with necessary vitamins, proteins and nutrients, which is very important in the heat, when there is no appetite at all;

But only freshly prepared teas have beneficial properties, so they should not be left for the next day, especially since it is very easy to prepare a tasty and tonic drink.
METHOD FOR PREPARING ICE TEA
Determine the proportions using this formula: 1 teaspoon of tea per 200-250 ml of cold water. For maximum taste and freshness, put it in the refrigerator overnight to steep.
The following teas are best suited for cold brewing:

Honestly, i love winter. I really do. It's my second favourite season, right after autumn, and it's definitely better than summer.
But tea gets cold quickly :(
